Chapter 284 Auction
As the time drew near, some prominent figures gradually arrived, and the media, having gotten wind of it, stood guard outside with their cameras and microphones to conduct interviews.
Normally, a charity auction by an art gallery wouldn't attract so much attention, but once people heard that Gu Nanfeng was the gallery's behind-the-scenes investor, the auction invitations suddenly became extremely sought after.
As the actual investor, Jiang Zhouzhou was seated in the first row. As more and more people took their seats, many eyes turned to her as they saw such a beautiful girl sitting alone.
Suddenly, the light next to her dimmed.
The woman I met at the exhibition hall earlier sat down next to me.
The gazes that had been fixed on Jiang Zhouzhou immediately shifted to this woman.
"Why is she here too?"
"They're here for Gu Nanfeng, aren't they!"
"I heard that the Han family and the Gu family are planning to..."
The rest of the words were mumbled and unclear.
Jiang Zhouzhou secretly perked up her ears, thinking that these rich people were quite gossipy.
The woman next to him suddenly turned around and looked back, her face as cold as ice.
"Can't I participate in a charity auction? Or do you think that women only come here for men?"
Unexpectedly, the woman confronted him directly, and the two gossiping men awkwardly shut up.
Seeing their cowardly appearance, the woman scoffed.
Turning her gaze to Jiang Zhouzhou, she said awkwardly, "Han Junhe."
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded to her and introduced herself with a smile: "Jiang Zhouzhou".
Han Yunhe gave a curt "hmm" and then looked away.
At this moment, the noisy atmosphere quieted down, and with Gu Nanfeng's arrival, all the chatter stopped.
The man exuded a powerful aura. Although he was also dressed in a suit and tie, he was incredibly imposing, especially his cold and arrogant fox-like eyes, which gleamed with a sharpness that seemed to see through everything, making people afraid to meet his gaze.
Han Junhe's gaze remained fixed on Gu Nanfeng. When she saw him walk around her and sit down on the other side of Jiang Zhouzhou, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
The Han and Gu families intend to form a marriage alliance, and she doesn't believe Gu Nanfeng is unaware of her identity.
She was naturally extremely satisfied with her future fiancé; Gu Nanfeng was impeccable in both appearance and ability.
but……
During her investigation, she discovered that Gu Nanfeng was getting very close to a female news anchor.
Giving up their luxurious home to squeeze into a tiny apartment is just making a mountain out of a molehill.
Especially after learning that this charity auction was organized by Gu Nanfeng for that female anchor, she couldn't help but be curious... Gu Nanfeng is clearly not a man who is blinded by lust, but for this female anchor, he did a lot of absurd things.
The live stream received over 100 million yuan in tips.
He personally helped her attract investment.
He used his fame to hold a charity auction for her.
They went to squeeze into a small apartment.
He did everything that seemed impossible for him.
Two words inexplicably came to Han Yunhe's mind—true love.
However, the word "true love" is... utterly ridiculous in a family like theirs.
Her gaze shifted from Gu Nanfeng to Jiang Zhouzhou. Upon seeing Gu Nanfeng, the girl's eyes instantly lit up, and her voice became cheerful and gentle as she affectionately called him "Brother Nanfeng."
Gu Nanfeng narrowed his long, fox-like eyes, his gaze softening like water.
If those eyes looked at her, she felt she could easily become captivated by them.
Unfortunately, I was looking at someone else.
However, the next second, Gu Nanfeng's gaze met hers, and the emotion in his eyes faded, replaced by indifference and aloofness.
Han Junhe suddenly felt that she had made a fool of herself, so she looked away and focused her attention on the auction.
Lin Wan, dressed in an elegant gown, stood in the center, holding a microphone. After a tedious opening speech, she began to introduce the first item up for auction.
A new work by a moderately well-known painter is being auctioned off by his followers.
Many of the attendees didn't know much about painting, but out of consideration for Gu Nanfeng, they eagerly bid on any painting, even those that weren't famous, hoping to win a piece and make an appearance at the charity auction.
Gu Nanfeng leaned slightly towards Jiang Zhouzhou and asked in a low voice, "Do you have anything you like? I'll take a picture and send it to you."
Jiang Zhouzhou nodded and then shook her head: "When I first came to the gallery, I bought a painting that I really liked, but... I plan to bid on a traditional Chinese painting to give to Grandpa Ji."
When she visited the Ji family's old residence before, she noticed several traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls. There happens to be a masterpiece at today's auction, and she wants to bid on it as a gift for Old Master Ji.
Jiang Zhouzhou always remembered everyone's support for her and always thought of ways to repay that support in her own way.
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but every word reached Han Junhe's ears.
In particular, the words "I have already bought a painting that I really like" resonated deeply with her.
No one noticed that the tips of her ears were turning slightly red, making her jade earrings appear even greener.
No wonder Gu Nanfeng liked her...
Having been carefully nurtured by her family, she was no naive or innocent girl; she naturally understood that those words were deliberately said to her.
This girl has high emotional intelligence and is very good at understanding other people's psychology.
Moreover... even though I know she did it on purpose, I have to admit that hearing her voice gives me an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
She knows how to coax and praise.
My thoughts wandered aimlessly.
If she and Gu Nanfeng get married, then... it would be quite nice if the three of them could live a good life together.
